It is awful the parents didn't take the kid out for a bit to calm her down but the owner did not handle the situation any better.
I don't agree with the owner........but too many parents let their kids run rough shod in public. They think their kid is special and doesn't have to follow society's norms.
One little kid was playing with his utensils/talking loudly when I was eating at Morton's........really Morton's go to a family rest.
Teach your kids some manners please and don't be a douche to a kid take that out on their douche parents
I totally get the owner's frustration with people that refuse to even to attempt to discpline their child, turning the dining experience (and general public experience) for the rest of us into a nightmare. I loathe business owners that don't have a spine in this area. However, when I read that woman's screed on Facebook about not being afraid to get physical with any man or woman, the husband not having any balls, and her obsession with the pancakes, I said nuh-huh she's a nut who needs anger management classes. The physical threats were offensive and the pancake thing was bizarre. I did not know it was my job as a customer to consider your griddle space and order according to a pancake-to-human-weight ratio. Did they even have kids' sizes or silver dollar pancakes available? I don't have kids but even if the kid wouldn't finish all of them we have this marvelous invention called take-out boxes. She comes off as the Soup Nazi and Gordon Ramsey rolled into one. Entertaining for television, but nasty and inappropriate in the real world.
I think it's perfectly normal to threaten physical harm to anyone who crosses you, even a child. The owner sounds totally together.
By the way, other diners have said the baby cried for no longer than four minutes. This wasn't exactly a fine dining establishment, if you couldn't tell by the meth/drunkenness by mid-morning.
While children can be annoying in public, screaming at a two year old gets you nowhere!! I think this is going to impact the business in a negative way. The owner claims to have yelled at a husband not a child, but gee whatever happened to being civil?
I would support the restaurant owner. I am sure the business will not suffer as the patrons are all annoyed by the screaming kid. I certainly dont want to eat at a place with a screaming 2 year old. Keep her in the house and if you can't afford a babysitter, then stay home. People with kids tend to think the world should make way for them and their little kids. nope. If your child becomes a public nuisance, then you should know better than to take her outside. Rude and stupid parents cause this incident.
I get really irritated with the kids that bounce against the other side of the shared bench back.
In this case what adult has not wanted to scream at an obnoxious child at least once. I would have asked the family to shut it up or leave. As in leave NOW.
